The oxidation state of a substance is the electric charge it is exhibiting in a given state. This may be determined by looking at the oxidation states of accompanying atoms as well as the charge on the complete molecule.
In this case:
Molecular charge: 0
Oxidation state of oxygen: -2 (it is a group 6 element)
Thus,
S + 3 * -2 = 0
S = 6
Sulfur is exhibiting an oxidation state of +6.

Answer:NH4F ( ammonium fluoride)
Explanation:
NH4 is a cation with a positive 1 charge and F an anion having negative 1 oxidation number. Do the criss-cross rule for both cations and anions. So the charge of NH4 which is +1 will be the subscript of F and the charge of F which is -1 will be the subscript of NH4. Both have the same numerical value of 1 so we can cancel them out in the final equation of the chemical compound.
